Time goes faster as we age, maybe because of lack of novelty. When most things are as you expect, they are less engaging. But we want to use our hard-won expertise; we don't want to feel stupid, ignorant or foolish; and we don't want to lose our position, prestige or mortgage.
Maybe this contributed to him leaving his career. Jobs liked the saying "stay foolish".
